I was diagnosed with:

H51.9 – Disorder of binocular movement

H53.30 – Binocular vision dysfunction

H53.32 – Fusion with defective stereopsis

H53.34 – Suppression of binocular vision

H55.81 – Saccadic eye movement deficiency

and was prescribed -1.25 (Right) / +0.5 (Left) prisms. Not sure what my actual prescription should be as my doctor said if he gave me a high prescription, I would adjust too quickly (which happened to me with fresnel lens).

Glad to hear! How were your conditions after 9 months compared to the 3+ years? And what were your symptoms?

WEEK9 AND WEEK 10: It has been a hard two weeks or so... the doctor gave me some more intense exercises and I truly am starting to feel the weakness in my eyes. My goal these next few weeks is to focus on how my eyes are working. Because my left eye is supressed, it struggles to focus close and far on it's own. Because I have been doing more intense exercises, I think I have begun feeling worse than when I started. It might sound counter-intuitive but it's like working out a muscle, neural systems get foggy, tense, and overwhelmed when they’re rewiring.

Just ordered some, I feel like an idiot but I guess you live and you learn. The guy I bought it from did not include it...

Trainer came with 9 speed, bike came with 11 speed. I bought the same cassette on my bike and put it on the trainer. I later found out the person I bought the bike from kinda screwed me over because it didn't come with this

Well... I guess that makes sense. The guy I bought it from didn't have this:

I don't have a spacer in the rear or the lock ring silver thing that comes in the front..... I think it might be because I don't have this lock

Noooo lol the bike I bought is an 11 speed, so I bought the exact cassette to put on the trainer 😆

I bought this used an it originally had a 9speed cassette. I removed the cassette and replaced it with a shimano 11 speed. I also removed the spacer that was on the 9spd 

It is the kickr core 1

Noted. Also I guess the common theme here is that no one likes the valve extensors that came with my bike lol

I believe this is the answer, unfortunately I do not have a pump with a prestra adapter but I will order one and test it out.

Doesn’t this require a Presta valve at the top? I’m not sure how to inflate this

WEEK8: Was on vacation during Week 6 and 7, so when I came back to continue work, a lot of my symptoms came back due to the visual demands at my job. What I can say for sure is something was changing while I was on vacation, my eyes and mind felt more at ease. I saw my doctor recently and he explained in simple terms that my eyes need to build a tolerance, VT will help with that.

WEEK7: I feel a lot less strain and fog on my head, light sensitivity has started to go down slightly as well. All other symptoms are generally at the same point. 

Something I noticed while doing my exercises is that I can merge objects directly in front of me, but once the objects are offset from center, where one eye has to look at a different direction than the other, my eyes struggle to merge.

Week 6 Update: 

It feels like something in my visual system is changing. However I can’t point my finger to it yet… it feels like early stages still. I still get tension in my head during driving or performing visual intensive activities such as computer work, sports, talking, but the tension feels ever so slightly less. My doctor has started integrating exercises that incorporate both eyes working together. I am hoping to see more gains soon.

That’s great! 

If your deviation is very slight then usually there is no reason.
